France‘s National Assembly, the lower house of parliament, approved a bill [JURIST report] relating to intelligence in May, which would allow authorities to increase surveillance of anyone linked to terrorism investigations without permission from a judge. The bill authorizes intelligence agencies to tap e-mails and phone calls, place recording cameras inside homes, and install devices that monitor computer keystrokes in real time. The French Justice Ministry also called on prosecutors to crack down on hate speech, anti-Semitism and support of terrorism.
